No leave it running. It doesn't cost much to run especially if it's not being opened. Also if you unplug it you could come back to awful odors you won't be able to remove. And finally its designed to run 24/7 to keep the refrigerant for both fridge and freezer circulating. You shut it down for a long period you could have issues with the refrigerant or the compressor.
